In the 2008 election, Obama won 52.9% of the popular vote, while John McCain won 45.7%. The 2012 election was slightly closer, but President Obama received 51% of the popular vote, to his opponent Mitt Romney's 47%.

Answer 2

In the 2008 election, Barrack Obama won by 192 electoral votes, receiving 365 electoral votes to McCain's 173 electoral votes (out of a total of 538). Mr. Obama received 69,456,897 votes to McCain's 59,934,814, nearly 10 million more votes.

In the 2012 election, Mr. Obama won re-election; although the popular vote was closer in 2012, the electoral vote was not.

Barack Obama thus got 3,473,402 votes more than his challenger, and he earned 62% of the electoral vote.
